Retract distance problem

I just had Cad++ installed and I am having problems when I probe a hole and my probe retracts past the center of the hole and hits the back of the hole which inturn retracts and hits the front of the hole and goes into a loop of back and forth hits. I went to F10 then to motion and changed my prehit and retract distance but it did not help at all. Could a setting changed when Cad++ was installed? If so how do I fix it?

  • I was under the assumption that the prehit and retact inside a circle were basicly " OVERRIDDEN " based on the circle size ? I usually use .1 for a prehit and retract after the DCC, coded in each program, and I have NEVER had an issue inside of holes ( Using AUTO and MEASURED features ) that were smaller than that ? I know on the really old versions of Dmis this was something that you had to control.

    Has this changed in 2012 or 2013? If I have a prehit of .25 and my hole size is .2. If I use a autocircle it will know that my prehit is to big? Will it just change the value? and if it does what does it change it too.
    I have used versions up too 2011 and for prehit and retract seem to work the same as my current 4.3 version. I go for level 3 training on the 26th of this month where Ill get the chance to try the newest version, to come back to work and use my old version. Might sound silly but I might ask to use my version 4.3 when I go for training. I'm kinda glad I don't have to learn a new version every year. Still have trouble learning my version lol.
